Birds fight.
Beaks clacking together
like tap shoes
on a wooden floor.
The seed, their quarrel
falls to the ground.
The Earth grows fat,
bulging with seed.
It burst.
It grows.
Until a bright face
with a yellow crown
stares up towards the sky.
All who see it love it.
All who hear the tale smile,
and no one ever questions
this unwanted pregnancy.

We planted sunflowers in pur yard, and nothing. But the birds fight over birdseed(which contains sunflower seeds)and in the fray they drop the seed on our lawn. Now we have like a dozen accidental sunflowers. I just thought it was kind of cool and weird.
